One reason that a Catholic might find The Bible hard to understand is that they are not reading it with the mind of the Church. Another reason might be that they don't understand that it is literal and NOT literalistic. In other words, take the Creation story in the beginning of Genesis (the first creation story). It is literally true: God created EVERYTHING out of nothing. A literalistic interpretation would be that He created it in six twenty-four hour days because it references "days". But the Bible is NOT literalistic, and must be interpreted literally in the genera that it is using: myth, parable, allegory, etc.

Who would say people can understand the Bible on their own?
A:One of the points of difference at the time of the Protestant Reformation was that the Catholic Church insisted that people needed the clergy to interpret the Bible for them, whereas the Protestants said that people could read and understand the Bible for themselves. Even today, with the ready availability of English-language Bibles, we find the Catholic versions tend to have explanatory footnotes to ensure 'correct' understanding, while Protestant translations generally have no footnotes.

Where in the Bible you find the word Catholic?
Catholic AnswerThe word, "Catholic" is the modern form of the Latin word catholicus and the Greek word, katholikos, both of which mean "universal" It does not appear in the Bible but was first used in written form in the year 106 AD in letters from St. Ignatius of Antioch that survive even today. If it was commonly used in verbal communications before that we do not know. The Bible (the New Testament) was not put together, as we have it today, until around 390 A.D. or a good two centuries AFTER the Church was known as "Catholic", and about the same time that the Bible was finished being written.

What Catholic beliefs contradict the Bible?
Catholic AnswerOf course Catholic beliefs do not contradict the Bible, that is a logical impossibility. Members of the Catholic church wrote the books of the New Testament and the Church through several Ecumenical Councils and the Popes' consent approved the New Testament canon as we have it today. The Council of Rome in A.D. 382 is the one that approved the New Testament as we have it today, and Pope Damasus promulgated it. Catholic beliefs are based exclusively on what Our Blessed Lord taught, and the Bible was part of the Catholic Church's preaching. The Bible was made up of those books which were read at Mass. Baptist and Biblical answer:There are many beliefs that contradict the bible in Catholic doctrine.1. Catholic doctrine teaches baptism washes away sin.According to the scriptures the only thing that takes away sin is faith in the shed blood of Christ. The thief on the cross was never baptized yet Christ told him he would go to paradise with him.2.Catholic doctrine teaches sprinkling for baptism and infant baptism.Both are unscriptural. Every one who was baptized in the bible was an adult, who FIRST professed faith in Christ, then the were baptized by immersion (to picture the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.)3. Purgatory is a Catholic doctrine, but is found no place in the bible.4. Prayers to the saints are taught in Catholicism, but are never taught in the bible and actually end up being a form of idol worship.There are many other "extra-biblical" things taught in the Catholic church.Also the protestant bible and the catholic bible are different.The Protestant (KJV) does not include the apocrypha, the Catholic bible does.And it wasn't members of the Catholic church who wrote the New testament.The history of the Catholic church shows it was formed 300 years after Christ was on earth, under Constantine. You will not find the Catholic church in the bible. Nor a pope, in spite of what Catholic doctrine teaches. The church was formed upon Jesus Christ, NOT Peter as Catholic doctrine asserts.
